Hi, This looks just like a dish I had at Tanoreen in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, it was delicious. I have a question, do you drain the soaked rice before adding it to the dish? Thank you Joyce

Sophia, allspice is a berry that’s said to have the flavors of clove, nutmeg and cinnamon, all together. I don’t find that’s so, myself, but enjoy the flavor of the powdered or whole berry in many different dishes.

This looks awesome!! I’m gonna try it soon. I noticed that you put in some All Spice, what is the ingredients for all spice? Cause i’ve been looking everywhere for it. Would be great if you could share the recipe. Thanx bunches 🙂

A timely recipe; I could have used these details for last night’s co-created casserole. The upside-down edge and dropping Maklubah on the Cannucks would have been a hit. I’ll use this, thanks.

There is a video on how to do it over on Youtube and I like one of the comments:

“Oh Man! I’m Palestinian and my mom made this so often, I grew tired of it. I used to put yogurt (laban) on the rice, it was good. It doesn’t matter what the occasion is, graduation- MAQLOOBEH, relative coming to visit- MAQLOOBEH, family getting together- MAQLOOBEH.”

Here is the video for those who need lots of visuals:
